Passport

A Philippine passport remains at all times the property of the Philippine Government, the passport holder being a mere possessor.

Hence, the loss, mutilation or destruction of the Philippine Passport constitutes an offense with penalties set by law.

In line with the implementation of the new Epassport system and in promoting efficiency in passport processing, kindly bring complete requirements for passport application. Related queries may be sent to passport@philippineconsulatela.org

Applications with incomplete requirements and discrepant data may not be accepted by the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Please present your old passport for cancellation, if it has not been cancelled.

If the un-cancelled old passport was lost, present PSA/NSO Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate (if married) and a Notarized Affidavit of Loss.

For those who cannot come in person to claim their passports, the following documents must be presented at Window #6:

Authorization letter (if the authorized representative is immediate family member – spouse, father, mother, children who are at least 18 years old)
